Corbyn is not Trotskyist in his economic policy. In many ways he is to the right of Ed Miliband, particularly on banking reform.
But on foreign policy, defence and security policy and in his tactics and associations, he adopts Trotkyist, mainline communist and pro-Russian positions. There are Trots in significant positions of power in Momentum. Many of the Trotskyist organisations like SWP, AWL and the Socialist Party are strong Corbyn supporters and are either joining the Labour Party if they can get away with it or getting involved in Momentum. That's not just a coincidence, they rightly view Corbyn as being highly sympathetic to their goals and a means by which they could accrue great power if he ever got into government.
On defence and security policy, Corbyn essentially does the Kremlin's bidding. Sure, he's not receiving secret transmissions with his orders, but they don't have to; over the years the Soviet Union (and Russia as its heir) built up a very tight, interlocking set of ideologies that serve to support the interests of the Russian nation, whether it is capitalist or communist. So Corbyn calls for the dismantling of Trident. He puts into question whether he would honour our alliances. He makes clear that he would leave NATO if he had the power. He was for years involved at a very high level with the CND, which it is proven received money from the KGB and was being manipulated by it.
The KGB wasn't supporting the CND because they were desirous of world peace and the universal brotherhood of man. They supported it because the dismantling of the UK's nuclear forces tended to benefit the Soviet conventional and nuclear posture in Western Europe. Corbyn has very clearly spoken out in favour of blatantly illegal Russian actions like the violent, irredentist/fascist annexation of the Crimea. He has strongly supported the Russian line in Syria. On domestic security policy, Corbyn's closest ally John McDonnell called for MI5 to be dismantled, which would be a wet dream for the intelligence planning staff in the
SVR's Western Europe directorate.
Corbyn takes a strongly anti-NATO position, and adopts a line that tends to put the small eastern European states like the Baltics and Ukraine in great vulnerability. Russia sees these nations as being part of its "sphere of influence", a conception of uinadulterated imperialism if ever there was one. And yet Corbyn has strongly supported that concept, that somehow people like the Latvians and the Poles and the Lithuanians, who suffered under the Soviet boot for decades, somehow ultimately belong to the Kremlin. It is one of the most despicable positions Corbyn has got behind.
And in party matters, Corbyn is adopting classic communist intimidation tactics and social control stratagems; having fanatical 'Red Guards' to attack and abuse his enemies, intimidating those who speak out against him into silence while maintaining plausible deniability, planning to develop programmes for political indoctrination of children. These are classic communist tactics, and of course it's hardly surprising that he would adopt these sorts of measures when Corbyn himself is so hands-off and irrelevant and the majority of the leader's power is vested in Seumas Milne, a man who repeatedly expressed his admiration for Joe Stalin and the Soviet Union.
The squealing and whining and "Who? Me? Nooo, surely not"s from the Cult of the Blessed Jeremy and their fellow travellers are wearing extremely thin. Of course you have lost all objectivity and so anything that isn't positive to Jezbollah will be disregarded in your mind.
Tell me, what would Corbyn have to do for you to criticise him? The members of the cult never seem to be able to answer this (or when they do, whatever they say they would criticise him for is something he's already done)
